vdso: Move architecture related data before basetime data

Architecture related vdso data is required in the fast path when reading
CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. At the moment, this information is
located at the end of the vdso_time_data structure, which is a suboptimal
cache layout.

Move the architecture specific VDSO data right before the basetime
information, which is always required. This change does not have an impact
on architectures with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VDSO_DATA=n. Architectures, which
have it enabled, gain a better cache layout.
